The exhibition ANSICH[T] deals with the city of Vienna, its traditions and developments, presenting Vienna as it is seen from the inside and outside, by artists living here, and also discussing the concept of “Viennese-ness”.

The great majority of young artists involved in the project have finished their arts studies in Vienna (Academy of Fine Arts or University of Applied Arts).

The exhibition project AN SICH[T] WIEN raises the question of identity so frequently posed in the world of art. Is there any such thing as a cultural identity, anything that could be identified as embodying the “Viennese-ness” as such? Is it still possible to maintain the idea of a “closed cultural area” in a world of global networks and a multi-cultural society?
